A union contract is a legally binding written agreement between a union and employer that outlines the terms and benefits of employment. The contract is the result of collective bargaining and is ratified by union members. The contract includes important employment issues including wages, benefits, working conditions, job protections, and time-off.

The 2023-2027 TCNJFT master contract was ratified in December 2023. Learn more about your rights under the new contract!

AFT membership guarantees you rights and equitable treatment at TCNJ. If you believe any of your rights have been violated, you may work with your union representative to resolve the issue, or file an official complaint (grievance).

As a member, you have the full support of the union navigating the workplace and are treated fairly. Learn more about the grievance process and common issues.
